[Testicular torsion: experience with 28 cases].
The present study reports our experience in 28 cases of testicular torsion that had been treated at the Emergency Service of our hospital. The following parameters were analyzed: patient age, compromised side, torsion type, history of previous episodes, associated disorders and treatment. We underscore the importance of diagnosing the condition early based on patient history, clinical features and by Doppler ultrasound. Once the diagnosis has been made or when torsion is suspected, surgical intervention is advised to salvage testes compromised by this vascular accident.
